Also if you just move your purchases to the day before or the day after all you’re doing is very slightly messing up their forecasting. They’re still getting your money, just earlier or later than that had expected.
This is the precise problem with these kinds of empty actions. Back in the '70s and early '80s, when this was still new, companies would panic over this kind of action. Then they noticed it didn’t even register as a blip on the stats. A mild anomaly, maybe, if it was held on the last day of a month, but completely buried in annual statistics.
If you want them to actually take notice, you’re going to need to have more than a day. And that means going without. Which most people are unwilling and/or unable to do.
